What owners wrote
The low beams are not fully illuminating while driving at night. The lights are very dim. So dim, you are unable to see the road.
The low beam headlights are poor. Nissan install a brand new set of lights and I can't see but 5 feet in front of my car at night. The light illuminated is terrible. The headlight assembly is the problem. They knew it before they took my $130 to replace with lihghts that did me no good. I use high beams mostly.
